You can't go that far out and throw up your hands and not get a T. Refs don't like to be embarrassed.whosyourdawgy said:to get the refs attention. Stans was trying to make the dumbass official to see him calling a timeout. The ref blew the call. Plain and simple and then compounded the problem by calling the T. Mark Gottfried got it right on the broadcast. Why can't all of you Stans haters see it too?
We played a pretty solid game for about 32 minutes and then we start making dumb passes when the pressure was put on. We won the game, have a bye in the tourney, are playing our best basketball of the season, and have a shot to make a run in the SEC Tourney. How about supporting instead of criticizing for a change.</p>
The bold part isn't true. Once the opposing team inbounds the ball, you can't call timeout. I agree with most of the rest of your post but regardless of how bad it was that he missed it, I think Stans might have gotten away with being on the floor but it looked like he said one more thing as the ref was running down court, which prompted the T. If the situation were reversed (i.e. SC's coach did this) and no T was called, most everyone here would be pretty pissed off. It was bad all around, missed TO and then Stans running way too far on the floor. Between this and the intentional fouling at half court in the Kentucky game, Rick and the refs have had a pretty bad year.TheStateUofMS said:SEC refs are just embarrassing. They cost us the NCAAT last year in the SECTCG and almost cost us one today. I think you can call a TO when the other team still has the ball in the backcourt as well. I have seen Stans call a TO in that situation. It's just horrible the ref didn't let him get the TO. You can say the ref was falling down whatever but Stans was 5 feet from him yelling and holding the TO sign and he didn't give it to him. Refs just abusing their power. DO SOMETHING MIKE SLIVE RIGHT NOW YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF ****!
